Chapter 40 (The Last Thing Pending)

Start from the beginning
                                    

“Hmm,” Taehyung murmured.

And so Jisoo’s face reddened because of his “Hmm.” Was she really someone who put dates before mates and before their own sibling?

Meanwhile, Taehyung gently wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pushed the sealed document in front of her. “This is the content of the investment.”

Jisoo was burning with curiosity to find out what kind of investment Taehyung would make. He was not like her brother, a genius investor. No matter how smart he was, he had never set foot in financial investments before, and he also couldn’t create miracles.

So where exactly had he invested the other fifty million?

But after feeling uncertain for a while, Jisoo pushed the document back to Taehyung. “I don’t want to read it.”

Taehyung gazed at her silently.

Jisoo gazed at him too, saying, “I’m not reading it because this is not important. I will support you regardless of what you invest in and whether it is earning or losing. And to be honest...” She lightly pulled her hair. “I was never interested in investing. So you can take charge.”

Her words sounded light; she rejected the offer crisply. But Jisoo also had other thoughts on her mind.

Before this she had been drooling with envy at Taehyung’s tricks and business strategies.

But she hadn’t predicted that now, as his girlfriend, even though she was still very interested in his inscrutable scheming, when given a chance by him to read some of it she would change her mind.

Her first thought was that if he won, she would witness his foresight and brilliance. But what if he lost?

It was not that she lacked confidence in him, but anything could happen.

If today she read his plan and he lost in the future, it meant that she had witnessed his ill-judgment. Then it would be a little hard for him to hold his head high in front of her.

Men needed to save face in front of women. She wouldn’t let him lose face; that was the decision a smart woman would make. So she chose not to read it.

Plus, if he really did lose, the pressure from everyone else would be as high as a mountain. She didn’t want it so that when he came back to her side, he would still need to worry about anything else.

So she chose not to read it, leaving some space for him. Whether they won or lost, those were things in the exterior world.

He would always remain her closest partner. There was nothing in between them; they would always cherish each other.

Her thoughts went through innumerable twists and turns. However, Taehyung with his piercing gaze could tell that she—who was always curious—had a reason for falling quiet.

He thought for a while, then he kind of understood.

He stared at her again. Even though she tried to look nonchalant, her eyes could not hide it.

The expression in her eyes was familiar to him; she had stared at him using those eyes more than once before.

She only had this expression in her eyes when she looked at him.

Jisoo felt a little sheepish being stared at by Taehyung, so she turned her head to look out the window and tried to change the topic. “Ah, ah, ah! We’re almost there!”

Taehyung put the file back into his bag, then he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his embrace.

He lowered his head to look at her face, his hand holding her soft and delicate neck. “Are you sure that you don’t want to read it?”
